Testing the System
We recommend testing your LifeGard system after programming and on a weekly
basis thereafter. It is important to test the panic sensors and phone numbers to
ensure correct operation.
Testing the portable panic sensors
1. Press the Menu button on the back of the panel until the panel announces “Sen-
sor test, Press Status to select.”
Note
Pressing the Menu button cycles through 4 functions; Phone Test, Sensor Test, Add
Sensor and Delete all Sensors. The panel will announce the current function each
time the button is pressed.
2. Press the Status button on the front of the panel to start a sensor test. The panel
announces “Sensor test is on, test sensor 1 panic.”
3. Press and hold a panic button for 3 seconds. It is not necessary to test sensors in
any particular order.
4. The system will continue to prompt for panics that have not yet been tested.
When all the sensors have been tested the panel will announce, “Sensor test com-
plete, press Status.”
5. Press Status. The panel says “Sensor test OK.”
Note
The panel will prompt for each sensor in the order they were programmed. If there
are no sensors programmed the panel says “Invalid. Zero sensors programmed.” It
is not necessary to test the sensors in the order they are announced by the panel.
Phone Test
To test the programmed phone numbers:
1. Call the central station and tell the operator you will be testing your system.
2. Press the Menu button on the back of the panel once. The panel announces
“Phone test. Press status to select.”
3. Press the Status button on the front of the panel. The panel says “Phone test is
on” once a minute while the phone test is being completed. During a phone test
the panel attempts to dial each of the programmed phone numbers.
4. If all phone numbers are dialed successfully the panel says “Phone test ok.” If all
phone numbers are not successfully dialed the panel says “System communica-
tion failure.”
5. If your system fails the phone test, contact your system installer.
